Lakewood Park- Carousel by Roger Tregelles

"In 1930, the city fathers entered into an agreement for a new amusement park at the site. The famous Philadelphia Toboggan Company agreed to construct a $45,000 wooden roller coaster at no cost to the city for a share of the revenue. The company also installed a 3 row carousel along with other rides and amusements. For various reasons the venture was not successful and the roller coaster was dismantled in 1936 and moved to Canobie Lake Park in Salem, New Hampshire, where it is still in operation as the Yankee Cannonball. The carousel was shut down in 1947. As late as 1953 Lakewood Park still had two rides and three concessions operating under the direction of the Waterbury Superintendent of Parks."

Ben Franklin

Ben Franklin statue

"The Ben Franklin statue seated in front of the Silas Bronson Library on Grand Street was designed by renowned sculptor Paul Wayland Bartlett, a one-time Waterbury resident. The 1700 pound statue was made possible by a $15,000 donation from Elisha Leavenworth. After completion, it made a 22-city tour, with celebrations in each city, from Baltimore to Boston and then to Waterbury where it was dedicated June 3, 1921."( Wikipedia)
